Mobile robot charging station is used for charging autonomous mobile robots. It is also called docking station and comprises transmitter and receiver, which helps the charging station and the autonomous mobile robots to communicate. Mobile robot charging station are of two types, including stand-alone chargers used for charging specific proprietary robots, and multi-robot charging station used for charging multiple robots at a time.

Technavio’s analysts forecast the global Mobile Robot Charging Station market to grow at a CAGR of 13.77% during the period 2017-2021.

Press Release

Technavio Announces the Publication of its Research Report – Global Mobile Robot Charging Station Market 2017-2021

Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio’s team said: “The latest trend gaining momentum in the market is contactless charging. Autonomous mobile robots are used for continuous operations in industrial and commercial applications. The support from the charging or docking station is essential for seamless operations on the shop floor. The charging of autonomous mobile robots through charging station consumes extra time, which leads to delay in operations. The charging systems that can provide constant energy to robots are being developed to avoid such situations in the workflow.”

According to the report, one of the major drivers for this market is reduced cost price of electronic components. With the development of microelectronics, nanotechnology, and wireless communication technology, the use of autonomous mobile robots has been observed in multiple industrial and commercial applications. These robots are working in and around the shop floors and are enabled with autonomous charging facility. The significant decrease in the price of electronic components, such as the infrared sensors and cameras, has been observed, which has elevated the growth of the global mobile robot charging station market.

Further, the report states that one of the major factors hindering the growth of this market is replacement cost of charging station. Autonomous mobile robots are available in different configurations and operate at different power capacities. Mobile robot charging stations are developed for mobile robots according to their configurations and power capacity required for recharging. This is because, sometimes the charging stations encounter some technical glitches or technical breakdown, which may not support the charging process further. Therefore, such charging stations need to be replaced as the autonomous mobile robots may not be supported by other chargers.
